Read our June 2022 roundup of platform updates and creative trends for mobile app marketers. An algorithm update from Instagram gives more exposure to original posts, rather than recycled content from TikTok. Facebook offers creative fatigue guidance to recover ad performance sooner. And millennial consumers are willingly watching explainer ads with absurd humor.
To beat the 95% failure rate of ad creative, INK Games partnered with us to develop and test creative over a year before the global launch of their mobile game Prize Kingdoms. Our newest case study shares how we created 130 new video ad concepts, the official 1-minute game trailer, a 1-minute narrative CG commercial, and a 30-sec live action commercial.
